Nave’s Topical Bible verses Proverbs 28:1; 29:25 ( Read ) : 

Nave’s Topical Bible verses Proverbs 28:1; 29:25 ( Read ) Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no man pursues: but the righteous ( esp. of God ) are as bold as a lion. The fear of man brings a snare: but whoso puts his trust in the Lord shall be safe. ( Do not put the approval of men over God as it is a trap and is called idolatry- it diminishes autonomy- we are only to reverence God as such )

Implications : 

Implications Cowardice is like any other vice- it is learned through practice as a habitual reaction to fear with avoidance, compromising truth or principles and hedging our bets. We unlearn this in steps by believing God and not the fear- and responding with power and not with fear. Over time we become the opposite- courageous and bold with power and faith in the good. This stems from the 1 Cor. 13 true love of God and takes practice over time to become second nature. God uses adversities, tests and trials to perfect us.
